Lordy. Here are some real questions for you to have him ask.

1) Why does he think there was such a fan backlash against the Hulk movie?

2) What's the direction of the 3rd Spider-Man film?

3) Why did Marvel shift President Bill Jemas to a different position?

4) What character is his favorite and would he love to see made into a movie?

5) Why isn't there an ongoing Blade comic book? The movie is so popular , it would seem like a no-brainer?

6) Will Marvel be venturing into animated movies? A animated Namor flick would be awesome.

7) Has MArvel settled their lawsuit with Stan Lee? what was the deal with that?

some of these might be a bit touchy. But you wanted questions so there you go.

At one time there was a huge amount of Marvel cartoons on TV. X-Men, Avengers, Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four to name a few (I'm sure there were more...oh, Spider-Man!)

Do you think that there were simply too many Marvel shows and the quality suffered? Do you feel that there was a saturation point that was reached (and the audience got fed up) and do you regret making so many series?

Does he really chew on the bones of Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby?

I mean I just saw Spider-Man 2 and there are several Ditko ideas just thrown in (and they look great), so... where's Ditko's respect? I dunno, I'm just sore on that.

What is his problem with the Iron-Man movie? I read that his pitch involved a Tony Stark who lived in his father's shadow and is grief stricken when his brilliant father and glamorous mother are killed. So he dons his father's special project armor to, uh... fight crime. I mean Iron-Man is to me the toughest of the 60's comics to adapt. Without the Korean War it means very little, but JESUS did he get it wrong.
